Cheryl Cole has revealed that she has fallen hard for her new squeeze Tre Holloway.

The couple, who stepped into the spotlight as an official item this summer, have been experiencing "a really intense situation", according to the singer.

"I look for someone with a personality, charm and connection. I love having people around who feel like family," said the Girls Aloud Star.

"You are experiencing a really intense relationship." The pair, who met on the X Factor in 2010, have continued to mix business with pleasure after Tre was hired as a dancer on Cheryl's A Million Lights tour.

Impressed by his moves, Cheryl was keen to recognise his "talent."

"There's an intensity, there's a trust, there's a love - a genuine love. He is very experienced in what he is doing. He is a ridiculously talented character," gushed the star.
